Becoming a 'Publisher'

Koreabridge Publisher Overview

Koreabridge 'publishers' are able to post blog entries, photos, audio, and videos on this site.  In most cases, the original content will be hosted elsewhere and re-published here.  Content must be related to Korea in some way and abide by our posting policies.

Each publisher can add a signature to their Koreabridge.net account that will appear on all of their posts. The signature can be your own google ads or other kind promotional blurb. The signature should also include licensing information for the content. To edit your signature, click 'My Account/edit'. 

Material should be original content and not violate any copyright laws. Publishers maintain all rights to their creative works.  We prefer that content be published with some kind of Creative Commons license, but there is no licensing requirement.  Publsihers can remove their content from Koreabridge.net at any time, but should be aware that third party sites like archive.org may maintain copies and that we have no ability to have those copies removed. 

You can apply to become a publisher by contacting us and letting us know the title, URL, and description of your blog,  podcast, photos, and/or videos.  Once you've received publisher permissions, you will be able to create photo, audio, and video nodes, and if you like, we can  set up a blog feed that will automatically republish your posts on Koreabridge.net . 

Below is more detailed information about different kinds of  publisher content. 

Blogs

  • Unlike the old Pusanweb system,  on Koreabridge.net a 'node' is now created for each blog post. This should result in better formatting, easier searching, and enable Koreabridge visitors to comment on posts.
  • Appropriately tagging blog posts on your own site will Koreabridg.net feature content specifically related to Korea or a particular Korean city.  Bloggers should tag any post they want to appear on Koreabridge.net with 'korea'. Additioanlly, they can use tags like 'busan', 'seoul', 'daegu',  etc. on their original posts to determine where their posts appear on Koreabridge.net's regional pageste (e.g.  koreabridge.net/busan , koreabridges.net/seoul , koreabridge.net/daegu ). Other tags will also be transferred so visitors will be able to see all Koreabridge blog posts tagged with 'food', 'sports', 'language',etc.
  • Bloggers can choose whether to have their entire posts or only  shortened teasers reblished on Koreabridge.net.  This is usually done by changing the RSS settings on your blog.
  • If bloggers make changes to their original posts, the republished posts on Koreabridge will also be updated during the next cron run (which happens hourly).  

Photos

  Publishers can post up to 5 photos/day by clicking 'Create/Photo' .  Each photo can be up to 3MB.

Videos

Publishers can post videos that are already published on  YouTube, Blip.tv, Dailymotion, Google, MySpace, Revver, Veoh, or Vimeo  by clicking 'create/video'. 

Audio Podcasts

  Publishers can upload mp3 files by clicking 'create/audio'.  Maximum filesize is 30MB and the bitrate should be no more than 64kbs for spoken work or 128kbs for music.  We don't currently support externally hosted audio, but will likely do so in the near future.
